    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Here’s another pic of the landing gear aluminum support block. Decided now is the best time to change out those whimsy 3mm T nuts to some HD ones like in the wing. Heated it up with a soldering iron to soften the glue and put it came with a little pressure. Had some expired 5103 adhesive...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Been staring at my poor timber… decided to take it down and start poking away at it. Found out that I was missing over half the 3mm bolts holding my landing gear aluminum support block in! That’s nuts. I think because it was loose is why it got so damaged from my soft tree landing. Overall it’s...

    70cc FLEX Ultimate assembly thread.

    I'd put a 1/4-1/2" bump in the aft air exit. You could just cover a little piece of ply and glue it to the front former there. Maybe some tri-stock if you want to get fancy. I'd be happy to draft something in CAD for you, shipping and item to Canada might be tricky.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    The flying field is actually a USFS bus parking lot for the Mendenhall Glacier Visitors Center. The busses drop of the tourists and then come here to park. Some companies actually start some tours from this location. Juneau got 1.8 million tourists from May-Oct . . . the town is 35K residents...

    Joe Nall 2025

    I've thought about an RV delivery service, but I can't really pin down those details enough for it to make sense in my head. LOL There is something special about flying your own airplane at Joe Nall. I felt pretty bad asking for fuel donations as I flew a lot! Donated some redline oil for the...

    Joe Nall 2025

    Recovery time should be about right and I think the best thing to do after that is actually using the replacement part to help the muscles bond right. Your going to have to play that one by ear my friend. You can always pull the sticks on my plane if I do actually make it.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Black - negative Green - positive White - neutral The item description shows green/black power, if you look at the premade wire, the green is in the middle position (positive) It’s very nice wire. I like the Hanson premium, this AR, and been told the power box wire it’s top shelf.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    I have a couple of these I got used off of R C G but could never quite get one to work. I didn't try the other one, but I've ended up using the multi switch with the magnetic option instead. Let me know if you'd like them (or anyone else on here). I think they're like a $25ea but could send them...
